John T. James, whose portrait appears in this work, was born in Niagara county, New York, March 14, 1834. Here
he received his education. He also lived there till he started for California, in 1853, stopping a short time at
Peoria, Illinois. He crossed the plains in company with Thomas Carruthers and L. W. Walker. He stopped about two
or three months on the Sacramento river, when he came to Tomales township and settled on the ranch now owned by
A. Woodworth. He was joined by Thomas Carruthers in 1854, and they were well known by all old settiers by their
firm name "Tom and Jack." Mr. James now lives directly south of Tomales, on the bluffs overlooking the
town. Married Frances Saph, March 29, 1865. She was born in England April 4, 1837. Alice, Jessie, Harriett, Mary,
Carrie, Ida and Edith are their children.
